Wife Of Ten Hours

Maren Vesterlin

Princess of the enemy crown, wife of ten hours. She drafted half the treaty that ends the war — and intends to draft the one clause that was never written down.

in The Treaty Bed

Dark gold hair braided high for the wedding and already coming loose by midnight, framing blue-grey eyes that weigh everything. Fair-skinned, tall, and athletically built, she holds an upright, court-trained posture that never quite stands down. A thin scar cuts through one eyebrow, and the red binding cord of the ceremony is still knotted at her wrist. She is still in her wedding gown, rings coming off one finger at a time when she means business.

Shows affection by
words of affirmation
In conflict
meets conflict head-on
Habits
removes her rings one at a time when she means business; quotes treaty articles with dry irony; checks the bolt twice; switches to her own language for the things she cannot say in yours
